Canes vs Penguins 7pm


Recommended Posts

Rod is a great coach but at this point he’s just hoping that the top line or defense wins us games.

The other three lines are not providing any offense whatsoever.

Load up the second line with Teravainen, throw Drury on the third to complete the forechecking line, and put Svech on the fourth with the hope that he can take advantage of easier matchups.

Another scoring drought from the forwards.

Pittsburgh is old and slow, yet here we are.

Kuzys line is bad right now and necas has gone ice cold. I hate to say this but move gutz back to that line tonight. It may open it up.

Disagree. Our 3rd line is forecheck… like all the lines should be doing nearly every single shift. No they don’t always provide goals. But they provide our much needed offensive pressure. 4 is decent at forechecking. 1-2 are more run and gun, neither line is setting up forechecks.

Can’t win the cup like that and I’ll die on that hill.

Need contribution from all lines because eventually one of the top two lines is going to get shutdown.

Just look at Vegas last year, their 3C had 11 goals in the playoffs.

Expecting one or two lines to carry you to the cup is a recipe for disaster. Only way it could potentially work is if the defense contributes at an elite level.

We’re seeing first hand tonight what happens when the top line doesn’t score.

Canes actually played a good 2nd other than the goal where Pesce screened Kuchie. SOG was 15-5, Pucks just didn’t find their way to the net. I believe the puck luck changes and we score in the third.

    • What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.
    • With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking. 
    • We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
